Perhaps it could be used prophylactically,

No way after toxicity testing. This needs to be used, if possible, very judiciously, or else we'll promote antibacterial resistance to it.

Both MSSA and MRSA are hospital acquired

Both are also community acquired already.

U-2012>Both MSSA and MRSA are hospital acquired

Both are also community acquired already.

The literature would suggest it is primarily acquired in hospitals.

I went in the hospital this year for what I thought was
a routine aortic valve replacement.

I acquired MSSA in my sternum,
MSSA ate the sternum;
it had to be removed.

Twelve weeks four times a day of the most
exotic antibiotics to kill the Staph infection.

Thirty-eight doctors said I was going to die,
one Infectious Disease Doctor saved my life.

I had been told I would be in the hospital for 8 - 10 day;
It was four months and six operations.

I can no longer ride in a car with an air bag.
